I am being heavily pursued by an extremely attractive man who cant spell. I cant get past it, therefore I am upset. That is all.

I speak from experience. My husband is very good looking BUT thankfully he's very intelligent also. Spelling just isn't one of his strengths. (I don't understand why his teachers weren't sticklers for spelling but that's off-topic.)

Hubs is an avid reader, so he's well informed about current events and even self-educated in a number of topics. By far I'm no Einstein, but I'm impressed by his knowledge of topics that I have a hard time wrapping my brain around (investments, economics, law), so his knack for spelling "spelling" with only one "L" gets a pass. If anything his spelling (or lack thereof) is now a common joke between us.
